I was at 7 or 8, ended up going with 8 because I honestly can't find too many things that Conroy has done that I think have been outrageously bad.
For me, Conroy:
- started the rebuild when he traded Toffoli instead of giving him a new contract, so in the summer of 2023 after getting a look at the new Flames for a full season without Johnny and Chucky.
- let Sutter go when he clearly wasn't a fit in the culture that Conroy is building
- all moves since then have been for youth and picks and I don't think he's lost any trade, honestly, while fleecing two in the Lindholm and Markstrom trades. I think he could have gotten more for Hanifin but he was forced into that scenario with the M-NTC/extension stuff.
- the bad thing under Conroy so far for me have been allowing himself into the same situation as Hanifin with Andersson - I'm guessing he'll adjust. I honestly can't find much more to complain about.
